With a Scream TV Show Possibly on the Way, We Want To Know--Where Were You When the Original Movie Came Out?

Pop culture is a funny thing. You just hear the opening notes of a certain song or catch a clip of a favorite childhood show on YouTube and you're immediately transported back to that time in your life. It's a weird mix of deja vu and nostalgia--and not to get all corny, but it's just one of the many things that I love about the power of entertainment. For example, I had that very feeling this morning when I heard that MTV may be creating a TV version of the movie Scream.

For some reason this announcement resonated with more than when Scream 4 came out last year. Scream on TV every week? I'm intrigued. MTV did pull it off with Teen Wolf--this could be another cool way to revive a beloved franchise! And in a flash, I was back to my sophomore year of college when the first Scream movie, the one that started it all, hit theaters.

For [Anna](/contributors/anna-moeslein), *Scream* was a rite of passage when she finally saw it to hang with the older kids in her family. "I remember watching it at my cousins' home after we had just returned from a giant family road trip (i.e. all eight grandkids, my grandmother, my aunt and my uncle in one 15 passenger van from Arkansas to Florida. Insanity.) to Walt Disney World. I thought it was so cool that I got to watch a scary movie with my older cousins, especially because it was something my parents would never have let me watch at home."

But poor Caitlin, all Scream does for her is bring up a giant knot of fear. "Eek! No memories other than never ever seeing it--to this day--because I'm still scared!!"

What about you guys? Where in your life were you when Scream came out? Would you watch a TV version on MTV? What other movies take you back and why?
